SoundShare: Connect with your Friends Musically

After three months of free trial, many users have switched to paid version of Apple Music. Apple Music has set very high benchmarks, and therefore, we can’t help ourselves compare this SoundShare with one of the best music apps.

What is unique about SoundShare is not streaming music, but your social network that has music in its DNA. Like other social media apps, for example Twitter and Facebook, you can share your play lists, tracks and more with your friends.

The Idea

You find like-minded people on Facebook, Twitter and probably on Linkedin too; similarly, on SoundShare, you can find and then follow people, who have developed music tastes as you have. Create your own profile, share songs so that your group can follow you and your choices of music. Not only this, you can send songs from Apple Music to SoundShare with the help of Sharing Extensions.

Design

It will certainly take some time to understand the interface of this app. Initially, you might be fumbling for where to tap; the app has failed to attract music lovers in terms of visual elegance. However, you will be happy to see your profile page as it shows your feed of songs, followers, playlists and your picture.

Once sign-up process is complete, you can find your friends via Facebook; invite more friends on WhatsApp or you would like to invite some friends from your Contacts. On Popular menu, you can explore what is trending, top 100 songs and popular songs from iTunes. Don’t forget to check your Daily Song dose.

On your profile page, you can see songs you play, followers, person you follow and playlists.
